I know what a punt gun is, the simple form where boat and gun make a unit. then there is the term "swivel gun" - a gun that can be move because its on a mount



than there is also a "bank gun"

"Sale A0918 Lot 615 - Fine Modern & Antique Guns - September 2018

AN EXTREMELY RARE 32mm PINFIRE SINGLE-SHOT WHEELED BANK-GUN, UNSIGNED, no visible serial number,
probably French or Belgian, with round tapering 76in. sighted barrel, single feed bolt-action receiver with left mounted external lock signed W.R. Pape, and hammer, chequered walnut tiller butt giving an overall gun length of 94in., trigger with provision for lanyard release, mounted on an iron pintle fixed to a painted hardwood trolley with metal furniture including twin trail legs and 24in. diameter four-spoke wheels, worm and wheel elevation device, full overall length approximately 132in.

Other Notes: This impressive bank-gun has remained in the same family for three generations and was originally purchased for the harvesting of larks. For an associated lark lure see Lot 700."




















no doubt made in belgium or france as same kind of punt gun then set on weels for shooting larks?
I know that this bird was hunted in masses for eating then but its hard to imagine how it was shoot with this cannon. the 32 mm shotshell is not very well known. its in size between a 4 ga shell and the 1,5" puntgun shell. the 32 mm center fire case is the more common to find if you looking for such a thing.




the original was maybe the pinfire version , the biggest pinfire cartridge ever made only be Gevelot/SFM
